The plural of anecdote isn’t data. There actually is science behind a well-designed survey.

Sure, but if you load it with FIFO’s that weight argument then the formula may be true for the info in it but may not true relevant to reality.

Yes, but that applies no matter what the survey was designed for.

To ferret out the truth?

Or to reach a pre-ordained conclusion designed by those paying for the poll?

Nice try, though.

Cheers!
